Building Ikea furniture sucks. I broke so many of these stupid dowel pieces while putting together a kallax bookshelf. I just have that and a bed frame left.
Huge Thank you to r/malefashionadvice!
Just wanted to thank all the contributors of the forum for the knowledge & wisdom.
Although I've been incommunicado since joining this community, you all have helped me develop a fashion sense & wardrobe since May 2021 when I officially ventured.
I was the typical 'always wear black' person, but reading the basic bastard, understanding skin tones, and color psychology guided changed the game for me.
I remember people's reactions to me wearing colors from my first basic outfit: Black vans, Navy Blue Chinos, Navy Blue Gap Shirt, and Mustard Yellow linen shirt.
So.... I'm going to do the fashion blog thing. After receiving plenty of compliments regarding my style & Thursday Boots sharing a photo of mine. I figured - why not?
Donc, merci a tous
Happy to hear it’s helped! Just remember to keep an open mind and stay humble — even 8 years in, I’m still learning new things and realizing my previously-held beliefs may not have been quite as clear-cut as I thought. Careful with how sure you are of your statements.
Will heed your advice.
I've noticed that most of fashion is beyond my comprehension. So, I take the "stay in my lane" mentality. Parallel to music, there are MANY things I'd never look twice at whom others love. So, I kudos from afar, but stick to my Classy/Casual style honestly.

Sometimes tips from Facebook history groups pan out.
Like, of nature sounds? I don't, but I could. Would be better when some more songbirds return.
This one wouldn't have been a particularly good spot for that, since it's by a commuter lot for the UIHC and 4 different buses drove by and two Medevacs flew over.
I was gonna post here about, how I don't get the appeal of Ralph Lauren home. I was under the assumption that it was just a collection of overpriced mugs, teatowels and such with the ponylogo.
I then decided to actually look into the line just in case and hot damn some of that stuff is actually really nice looking. Like these [Prince of Wales](https://www.ralphlauren.eu/fi/en/wessex-mug-set-453602.html?dwvar453602_colorname=Black%20And%20White&cgid=home-dining-entertaining-tabletop&webcat=content%20home%20dining%20entertaining%20tabletop#webcat=content-home-dining-entertaining-tabletop&ab=EU_HomeLP_Slot_3_S1_Image1_SHOP&start=1&cgid=home-dining-entertaining-tabletop) mugs are pretty nifty,[as is this lamp](https://www.ralphlauren.eu/fi/en/allen-table-lamp-520097.html?dwvar520097_colorname=Natural%20Brass&cgid=home-lighting&webcat=content%20home%20lighting#webcat=content-home-lighting&ab=EU_HomeLP_Slot_3_S1_L1_SHOP&start=1&cgid=home-lighting)
I mean I'm not gonna buy any, because it's overpriced and totally outside my budget. But I do get the appeal now...
Correct, it's within! I'm surprised you got it - I spent a long time trying to figure it out - my best guess was "widen," referring to the size of the tab. This is a manuscript my friend is working on, so not yet published... he does cell sorting / CFD / microfluidics kinda stuff.
Oooh nice! Microfluidics is a hot topic these days (literally also what I’m doing right now).
I did like the ~~utilize~~ because that’s a pet peeve of mine when people use *utilize* instead of the word *use*
Nice, seems like there's a lot of folks on mfa who are in bioengineering or related fields
> that’s a pet peeve of mine when people use utilize instead of the word use
I am extremely guilty of this
tbh I feel that the explosion of "timeless" anything is super important at this particular cultural moment. Until we can explode the basic assumptions baked into how we clothe our bodies, fashion will always be dictated by classist, racist, and exclusionary norms.
This is by far the best part of wide fits. However, seeing as I live to post about my massive thighs on Reddit and have likely done so at least 10 times I'm not sure if this is as good a thing as it seems...
This weekend, to pre-celebrate the most romantic day of the year, I will show my passionate love for wide fit by wearing the widest [wide pants](https://i.etsystatic.com/9340124/r/il/b383aa/3022311896/il_794xN.3022311896_dtwr.jpg) you ever did see.
Valentine's tip for the boys: wide fit makes you more virile.
The placemats my parents and grandparents had when I was a child [coming up on a 90s nostalgia page](https://www.instagram.com/p/CoU-QYEokrz/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=) is weird.
Nah, but I don't really think Buffalo is typically a very seismically active place. After seeing the 7+'s in Turkey, it's not crazy to think it could jump start other faults far away (happened in the early 2000's in Sri Lanka).
I live in the Northwest US where common thought is that we are overdue for "the big one" so wouldn't hurt to have a modest stockpile just in case.
Youre so fussy arent you?
First of all, if you had a brain you could immediately see that this ISNT a black dress shirt.
Second of all, who made you the black dress shirt police? Are we restricted to what we are allowed to wear based on YOUR personal, small minded opinion? No. Do you seriously think so highly of yourself that you feel you can hand out rules and orders to people? Hhaha, get a life man. Even if I wasn't a waiter and I wanted to wear this what would be the problem. You take everything to be negative, try instead understand that people might want to wear other types of clothing outside of ocbds. Or would that be so hard for you to understand? I literally cant believe you even tried to tell a stranger on the internet that they shouldn't wear something because its from a prom scene. If we all had that attitude, then nobody would ever wear prom clothes. Should we also not wear tote bags cause we're not in Brooklyn, or use Salomon cause we're not hikers, or put pumpkins up our pants cause we're not from MFA?
3rd. Its not a 'bad example' to anyone smart enough to understand that simple, quick comments on the internet arent trying to be ultra specific and may have some slight inaccuracies.
You're actually an annoying power user. Please go away. You make my skin crawl.
The way I browse this subreddit is to check the discussion thread, see what the regulars are complaining about, and then go look at said thread and make fun of it with my partner

Got to photograph [Flaco](https://imgur.com/a/vRWrr2X) the other day. Flaco is a Eurasian Eagle Owl who escaped the central park zoo last week.

I never understood the concept of cheese on Korean food until yesterday, I always thought it was strange, but something about the creamy mozzarella tempering the savory spicy sauce/broth was just amazing. 10/10

You just kinda have to have a home goods line if you want to be a big brand name luxury fashion label for some reason.
It's over for yall once I'm shitposting from my [Desk Alchemy Chair](https://www.pamono.com/desk-alchemy-chair-by-rick-owens)
I am delighted to say that everyone’s good vibes worked—I passed the technical task and am now moving on to the next round of interviews!
Congrats, Spicy!

I was also guilty until a professor roasted me
Definitely don't start a paragraph with "microcentrifuge"
probably better to never use the word "microcentrifuge" at all or even use one or look at one tbh (all the homies hate the hydroxyproline assay)
“timeless”

Joe Pera has a new podcast and the world is a better place
Felt the lurkers had gotten too comfortable so I dropped a new wide fit discussion.
tbh I feel that the explosion of "timeless" anything is super important at this particular cultural moment. Until we can explode the basic assumptions baked into how we clothe our bodies, fashion will always be dictated by classist, racist, and exclusionary norms.
Oh no… Drink!
I already was.

Wide fit memes are the new "wtc pants for my massive thighs" posts
Well now pants are wide enough for my MASSIVE THIGHS, gotta have something.
This is by far the best part of wide fits. However, seeing as I live to post about my massive thighs on Reddit and have likely done so at least 10 times I'm not sure if this is as good a thing as it seems...
https://imgflip.com/i/7a7hg7
I see this as an absolute win

is 3.8 a lot for US folks? we get lots and lots of 5 level movements here in Lima

My friend from Buffalo was confused that something had fallen over in the night
My heart goes out to them 😢
Pusha T wore a black dress shirt to the Grammys ##canceled

Hello 911? I'm reporting a hate crime. I feel personally hated by this comment.
MFA users when a celebrity wears something interesting instead of a slim fit black suit to a red carpet event: 🤬🤬🤬
You're doing yeoman's work in that thread
It's a public forum! What am I supposed to do except spout my bullshit opinion?
The way I browse this subreddit is to check the discussion thread, see what the regulars are complaining about, and then go look at said thread and make fun of it with my partner
whO iS thIs cElebRitY i hAveNt heArd oF?? Sorry lurker you would know who they were if you acted like a normal person and didn’t try to avoid anything mainstream
also I actually clicked on it, they’re literally A-listers: pusha, MGK, Harry Styles etc Sorry if bill nye isn’t showing up in chinos and an OCBD
shocking that artistic, creative people dress creatively
There's a contingent of this sub that thinks the uviversal goal of wearing clothes is to make people think "he seems like a nice young man"
No no no! You can't express yourself, fit in!
You are getting killed in that thread for daring to be interested in things that aren't the most boring fits possible.
Thank you, it's a warzone out there and I'm losing :D
the only winning move is not to play etc etc
Posting red carpet articles is just trolling at this point
Any karma is good karma... and I am a karma whore!
It's great how the lurkers just can't resist hating on fashion every time they see some
